https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28255 --- Comment #12 from Silvia Pfeiffer <silviapfeiffer1@gmail.com> --- (In reply to nigelmegitt from comment #11) > It may be true that language can be specified externally, but that's not > especially helpful for asset management. Particularly in asset management, you have a database which contains this information and is much more easily searchable than the content files themselves. I don't buy this argument. > I would argue also that the spec is incomplete in that it includes the > WebVTT Language Objects to indicate when the language is different from the > surrounding text language but no mechanism to indicate what the outer level > language is. The obvious fix for this would be to add a language header with > file scope, e.g. a reserved keyword for a metadata header, like "lang" so > you might have a file that begins: > > WEBVTT > > lang: en-GB > > [rest of file] There didn't seem to be enough of a use case from practitioners to make it worth the effort at this point in time. It seems to be an academic request without a real need. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
